Amherst College

Amherst College is located in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts —
a rural community of some 8,500 residents situated in the lovely and fertile
Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts. The countryside is
given over largely to dairying and farming in which tobacco, potatoes,
and onions dominate the economy. It is also a cultural area for at the
northern end of the town is the University of Massachusetts and within
a few miles are Smith College, at Northampton, and Mount Holyoke
College, at South Hadley.

The town is an offshoot of Hadley which it adjoins to the west and
which, in turn, was a subdivision of Northampton, settled in 1654 by
pioneers pushing north along the Connecticut River from Windsor
and Springfield. Though Hadley was established by 1659, there is no
evidence of permanent settlement in its "Third Precinct" — later to
be named Amherst — until 1731 ; in that year eighteen families are known
to have built their homes along this then remote frontier.

Settlement in those early days was indeed hazardous, for in the late
seventeenth century came the most harrowing Indian conflicts in New
England's history known as King Philip's War. Colonies fell back on one
another as outpost after outpost was obliterated — including the well
known massacres in 1675 at Deerfield and Bloody Brook a few miles to
the north. Hadley itself was beset the following spring.

Upon King Philip's assassination in 1676 peace returned — but not
for long. In 1688, in alliance with and goaded by the French, Indians
again fell upon isolated communities of the valley and continued their
bloody forays for many years.

Settlement of the Third Precinct was sufficient by 1759, however, for
the Massachusetts General Court to grant the community's petition that
it become "a separate and distinct district" named for Sir Jeffery Amherst
"in token of our regard for the worthy knight and of our own admirable
friendship for same."

A year after the town's founding General Amherst achieved his greatest
triumph when, in concert with Wolfe's recovery of Quebec, he captured
the series of frontier posts at Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Oswego, and Fort
Niagara, and then effected the surrender of Montreal. Capitulation of
these two centers brought an end to French activity in America and
hastened an end to the French and Indian War.

Amherst College was founded in 1821 by residents of the town of
Amherst and of the embracing valley "for the Classical Education of
indigent young men of piety and talents for the Christian ministry."
No single man was responsible for its birth, for it sprang from community
interest and enterprise. A handful of devoted men, to be sure, inspired

AMI I M RSI COI I !.(,!.

and led tin- movement to establish a "Collegiate Institution at Amherst,"
best known of whom was Noah Webster, the lexicographer; but the
College is named for the town that made it possible, rather than for
Lord Jeffery Amherst from whom the town took its name.

Actually, the founders of the College established a dual organization
which continued for over a hundred years: Amherst College, administered
by a Board of Trustees, and the Charity Fund, under a Board of Overseers.
The latter, formed in 1818 (thus antedating the College by three years),
had assets of $50,000 in promissory notes from two hundred and seventy-
five subscribers when South College, the campus' first building, was
completed in 1821. This then represented the College's only endowment
and so continued for many years. In its charter was the provision that of
its income five-sixths should be used as scholarship aid for students
preparing for the ministry, and one-sixth should be added each year to
the principal.

Similarly, South College arose on donated land and was built largely
by labor, materials, and provisions contributed by friends in the town
and countryside. When constructed, its bills unpaid and unprovided for
totaled less than $1,300.

Zephaniah Swift Moore, then president of Williams College, answered
the Trustees' call to become Amherst's first president, and over the
Berkshires with him came several members of his faculty and student
body. The first class was composed of forty-seven students, for the most
part from New England. Two years later North College was completed,
and in 1827, between these first two buildings, Johnson Chapel, thus
forming College Row.

Since 1821 Amherst has grown considerably but remains an inde-
pendent, gift-supported college. Approximately 1050 students are now
enrolled; the faculty has nearly one hundred and twenty members;
college property consists of four hundred and five acres; buildings —
exclusive of college-owned faculty residences and independently owned
fraternities — number forty-one; endowment exceeds $20,000,000; there
are over 9,000 living alumni and non-graduates.

College buildings now include the chapel, auditorium, library, dormi-
tories, classrooms, laboratories (in biology, chemistry, geology, and
physics), natural history museum, art center, observatory, central dining
hall, physical education units, theater, infirmary, music house, and
maintenance group.

The Folger Shakespeare Memorial Library in Washington, D. C,
and the Merrill Center for Economics at Southampton, Long Island,
N. Y., are also administered by the College's Board of Trustees.

Today's students come from most of the United States: about half
reside in the Middle Atlantic area, a quarter in New England, a fifth in

AMHERST COLLEGE

the Middle West, and the remainder in the rest d the country and
abroad. The proportion of those who prepared for college in public and
private schools is about equal. Nearly a quarter of the undergraduates
receive scholarship aid from the income of funds amounting to over
SI, 500, 000. Unlike the College's early days when most of its students
prepared for the Christian ministry, about half its recent graduates have
continued their studies in graduate or professional schools and half have
entered business.

Amherst's courses are confined to the liberal arts and sciences and lead
only to the bachelor of arts degree; no vocational or specialized studies
are offered. In 1 947 a general curriculum was adopted (outlined on pages
37-40) under which all students follow a prescribed program of studies
during the first two years, and "major" or take "honors" work during
the last two years in "area" or departmental studies.

The College's corporate name is "The Trustees of Amherst College."
Its general government is vested in this Board, eighteen in number, of
whom the President and the Treasurer of the College are members
ex officiis, ten are elected by Trustee vote without limit of term, and
six are elected by graduates of the College for terms of six years each.
The President is charged with the general administration of the College.
Subject to the Trustees' reserved authority, educational policy and rules
of conduct are determined by the Faculty.

A list of the Presidents of the College, with their terms of service, follows:

Rev. Zephaniah Swift Moore, d.d 1821-1823

Rev. Herman Humphrey, d.d 1823-1845

Rev. Edward Hitchcock, d.d., ll.d 1845-1854

The Folger Shakespeare Library

By the will of the late Henry Clay Folger of the Class of 1879, there
w.is bequeathed to the Trustees of Amherst College the Folger Shakespeare
Memorial Library in Washington, D. C, together with an endowment for
maintenanc e, later increased by the generosity of Mrs. Folger.

The building, loc ated on East Capitol Street directly east of the Library
of Congress, was erected at a cost of more than £2,000,000. Its endow-
ment now stands at about $9, 500,000, and its collections are valued at
over S2,740,000. On the Library's main floor are: an Exhibition Gallery
with displays of rare books, manuscripts, paintings, and miscellaneous
curios and works of art; an Auditorium in the form of a reproduction of
the interior of an Elizabethan playhouse; a large Reading Room, repre-
senting a Tudor Banqueting Hall and hung with early tapestries; four
Vaults, containing the rarest portions of the collections; a Reception
Room for social purposes; and Administration Offices. On the second floor
arc: Private Studies for the use of visiting scholars; the Cataloguing and
Bibliographical Room; the Photographic Laboratory; and a Wardrobe for
theatrical costumes. On the third floor are stored the art collections and
other museum material.

The Library concentrated its original collection largely upon the life,
writings, and influence of William Shakespeare, but during the past two
decades it has increased its rare books and manuscripts in related fields
until today it has one of the largest collections in the world for the study
of English history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Only the
British Museum has a larger collection of early English books.

Under the plan of the Trustees of the College, in addition to maintain-
ing its traditional interest in Shakespeare and English Renaissance litera-
ture, the Library will exploit other fields as well. Efforts will be made to
expand it as an efficient laboratory of research and investigation. Aid and
encouragement will be given literary and historical scholars capable of
making the most significant use of the Library's great collection of source
materials. It is further intended that the Library will develop the reference
collections which scholars require for the efficient utilization of rare books
and manuscripts.

Research facilities of the Library are not open to casual visitors, but per-
mission to use them may be obtained by qualified scholars upon application
to the Director. Interested individuals and groups are cordially invited to
visit the Folger's public rooms.

The Merrill Center for Economics

I be Merrill (-enter for Economics is located at The Orchard, South-
ampton, New York. The Orchard was presented to Amherst College in
I '» S 1 by ( :harles E. Merrill, an alumnus of the Class of 1908. Each summer,
the Center brings together experts in the field of economics to discuss some
important economic problem. They live together at The Orchard and
meet regularly around a conference table and, in addition, have less for-
mal discussions in smaller groups. Attendance is by invitation only, and
the conferees are drawn from education, business, and government, both
from this country and abroad. Additional speakers are invited to discuss
particular problems with the group.

The Orchard consists of a beautiful, spacious house and several addi-
tional buildings on its sixteen acres. The main house is particularly noted
for its paneled music-room and main staircase. Together with the Annex,
it can comfortably house about thirty persons. The houses are surrounded
by extensive lawns and formal gardens. The library contains current
economic periodicals and is supplemented each summer as necessary with
books from the Amherst College Library.

The Merrill Center is administered by the Trustees of Amherst College
and maintained through the continuing generosity of Mr. Merrill. Dr.
Willard L. Thorp, an alumnus of Amherst in the Class of 1920 and former
Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, is director of the Center.
I )r. Thorp is also Professor of Economics on the Amherst faculty.

General Information

Admission

General Statement

Admission to Amherst College is competitive. The College attempts to
select for admission those applicants who seem best qualified to benefit
from the opportunities offered by an Amherst education. The Committee
on Admission, in judging the qualifications of applicants, pays particular
attention to (1) academic performance in high school or independent
school, (2) results of the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic
Aptitude and Achievement Tests, (3) the recommendation of the high
school principal or headmaster, (4) evidence of a willingness to work,
(5) the character, health, and extra curricular interests and achievements
of the applicant. All freshmen admitted are candidates for the Bachelor
of Arts degree.

How and When To Apply for Admission

Correspondence regarding admission to the freshman class should be addressed
to the Director of Admission, Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts. Each
applicant for admission to the freshman class must file a formal application
with the Director of Admission, preferably before March 1 of the year in
which he expects to be admitted. Under certain circumstances, later
applications will be considered. The formal application should be accom-
panied by a check or money order for $5.00 made payable to The Trustees
of Amherst College. This application fee will not be refunded if the student
withdraws his application or if his application is not acted upon favor-
ably.

A preliminary application may be filed at any time prior to the appli-
cant's senior year. Once this preliminary application has been filed and
acknowledged, the College assumes the responsibility of forwarding all
formal application forms at the proper time. No priority is given to early
applications.

Entering students are admitted only at the beginning of the regular
college year in September.

Interview Hours — Admission Office

The Admission Office is open on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30
p.m. and 1:30 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. until

Recommended Preparation

The following minimum program of studies is recommended for students
planning to enter Amherst College:

English 4 years

Mathematics 3 years

Foreign Language 2 years or, if possible, 3 years of one

History 1 year

Laboratory Science 1 year

It should be noted that the College stresses sound preparation in cer-
tain subjects which are important implements for the many branches of
college work. English, mathematics, and foreign language (ancient or
modern or both) are the subjects in which entering students should show
proficiency.

Students with particular interests may wish to modify the suggested
program by taking more work in certain subjects and less in others. Such
modification is wholly acceptable, provided there is evidence of adequate
preparation in. the basic fields of English, mathematics, and foreign lan-
guage. Any deviation should be discussed in advance with the Director
of Admission.

Students who are planning careers in medicine, engineering or the
scientific professions should include in their secondary school programs
at least two years of French or German, trigonometry, physics, and chem-
istry. Students thinking of engineering should also include a course in

solid geometry.

Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests

All applicants for admission to the freshman class at Amherst are re-
quired to take certain tests given by the College Entrance Examination
Board. Information on these tests may be obtained by writing the Amherst

Admission Office.

The College Entrance Examination Board Tests are given several times
a year. Applicants who are in their final year of preparatory work are
expected to take the tests given in March of each year. Applications for
these examinations must be filed with the College Entrance Examination

ADMISSION

Special Booklet

A descriptive booklet entitled This Is Amherst may be had upon applica-
tion to the Director of Admission.

Cooperative Engineering-Science Program with
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

In order to facilitate the combination of a liberal arts course with edu-
cation in science and engineering, Amherst College has entered into a

AMHERST COLLEGE

cooperative arrangement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
I'ndcr this arrangement, and by properly planning his studies, a student
of high standing may pursue a combined five years' program in which
the first three years arc spent at Amherst College and the last two at the
Institute, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the College and
to that of Bachelor of Science from the Institute upon completion of the
combined course.

Administration

Terms and Vacations
The college year 1954-1955 includes two regular semesters of sixteen
weeks each. In the fall semester there is a Thanksgiving recess of approx-
imately five days, and a Christmas vacation of two weeks; and in the
spring semester, a vacation of two weeks.

Attendance at College Exercises

The officer in general charge of matters concerning attendance at college exercises
is the Associate Dean of the College.

Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Attendance at all
laboratory periods is required. First-term freshmen and students on pro-
bation are allowed no unexcused absences from class or laboratory periods.
Each student must attend his last class before and his first class after the
Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring recesses. At the beginning of the
semester each instructor will state his policy with regard to absences in
his course, and thereafter, he will report to the Dean's Office the name
of any student who violates the regulations which the instructor has set
up for his own course. In such cases the Dean's Office will take appropriate
action which may include a reduction in his credit hours or he may be
dropped from the course.

Absences for certain recognized reasons are normally excused. Con-
siderable discretion should be used with regard to unexcused absences,
since such absences, even if not excessive, tend to reduce the effectiveness
(or value) of the course. The responsibility for any work missed because
of an absence rests entirely upon the student.

All official college vacations and holidays are announced on the Col-
lege Calendar appearing on page 5 of this catalog.

Morning chapel services are conducted Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday mornings. All students are required to attend one-half of the
chapel services each week.

Student Discipline
The officer in general charge of student discipline and conduct is the Dean of
the College.

Conduct befitting a gentleman is expected at all times of students at
Amherst College. It is assumed that undergraduates will understand what
constitutes gentlemanly conduct without specific regulations forbidding
particular actions.

The College reserves the right to exclude at any time students whose
conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable, and without as-

AMI I ERST COLLEGE

ngpjng any further reason therefor; in such cases fees will not be refunded
or remitted, in whole or in part, and neither the College nor any of its
officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion.

Records and Reports
The officer in charge of records and reports is the Recorder of the College.
Reports of standing are sent to parents or guardians at the end of each

term. Rank in each subject is reported as follows:

A, 90-100%; B, 80-89%; G, 70-79%; D, 60-69%; E, 50-59%; F,

below 50%. The passing grade in each individual course is 60%, and an

average grade of at least 70% is required for a degree.

Rooms and Board

All students, unless specifically excused by the Dean, are required to
live either in the dormitories of the College or in fraternity houses. Dor-
mitory rooms are equipped with bed, mattress, pillow, chiffonier, desk,
chairs, and bookcase or shelves. Occupants furnish their own blankets,
linen, and towels, and may provide extra furnishings if they wish, such
as rugs, curtains, lamps, etc. Room assignments are noted on the invoice
from the Comptroller's Office.

All students are required to eat in Valentine Hall unless excused by
the Dean. There are no rebates for absence from meals for any reason.

Health and Physical Development
The officer having general supervision of student health and physical development
is the College Physician.

The College Physician and his associates hold consulting hours twice
daily at the Student Health Office in the Gymnasium. They keep them-
selves acquainted with the health of the students and provide for their
proper treatment if ill. Every student is given a physical examination soon
after his arrival and is advised as to his health and physical efficiency. No
student will be admitted to Amherst College who has not been successfully
vaccinated or who is unwilling to submit to such vaccination by the College
Physician within three months after admission.

The College maintains an infirmary under the direction of the College
Physician and has a consulting staff comprising surgeons, internists, and
various specialists who are called by the College Physician in cases of
serious illness.

A Health Fee of S20 per semester is charged to all students. This en-
titles the student to medical and nursing care at the College Infirmary,
as well as hospitalization in Northampton or Springfield, and the services
of consultants, when recommended by the College Physician, up to a
maximum of S500.00 for any one student in a college year. The College

ADMINISTRATION

limits its responsibility to illnesses occurring while college is in session,
including the expenses of medical treatment and hospitalization due to
accidents on the athletic field or in connection with the ordinary and
general procedures of the College. In the case of injuries from accidents
of motor vehicles, trains, or airplanes either in traveling to or from Amherst
or while resident in Amherst, the College's responsibility for medical
and hospital expenses is limited to the services of the College Physician,
the services of the Health Office, and care in the College Infirmary for a
period not exceeding ten days. In such cases the College will not accept
responsibility for medical or surgical bills of consultants, special nursing,
or hospitalization in outside hospitals. The cost of prescription medication,
glasses, and routine dentistry is not covered by the Health Fee.

Students or their parents are, of course, free to select consultants, sur-
geons, or hospitals of their own choice, but in such cases the fees of the
physicians, surgeons, nurses, hospitalization, and incidental fees are not
paid by the College.

In the cases of students who have served in the armed forces of the
United States, the College's responsibility is limited to illnesses and acci-
dents of a nature covered by its responsibilities to its regular civilian
students. Expenses for illnesses arising in whole or in part from previous
service in the armed forces are not covered. The decisions of the College
Physician as to what expenses will be met by the College shall be final.

A student is entitled to no further health service after withdrawal or
dismissal from college.

Parents are notified by mail of all infirmary admissions unless the ill-
ness is thought of sufficient severity to warrant direct communication by
telephone. In emergencies requiring immediate surgery, when parents
cannot be consulted in advance, the President will assume responsibility
for the authorization of operation.

Students who are unable to attend classes because of illness are re-
quired to go to the infirmary unless living with their families in Amherst
or vicinity. Sick excuses are given only for such time as is spent either in
the infirmary or, if living with their families, under a physician's care.

The College Infirmary, built in 1938, is located on the campus, is of
fireproof construction, and is designed in accordance with the best modern
practice. It has a normal capacity of nineteen beds, and an emergency
capacity of forty beds. It contains a lounge room with a selected library
and two solaria for convalescing students, an operating room for minor
surgical cases, a laboratory, and an isolation ward for the treatment of in-
fectious diseases.

Occupational Guidance
In liberal arts colleges such as Amherst, where few studies are of di-

AMHERST COI.I I ' ■ I

rect OOClipationa] significance, it is natural that many undergraduates find
their most perplexing problem that of making a proper choice of a life
career. To help undergraduates solve tins problem, the College offers an
occupational guidance program. This program assists students to (1) dis-
cover their own special interests, aptitudes, talents, and powers; (2) dis-
cover the most promising outlets for these special and individual powers;
(3) Income familiar with the best techniques in obtaining a job, and (4)
recognize the principal adjustments needed in changing from a life on
the campus to one in the business world.

The undergraduate who participates in this voluntary program will find
himself better prepared to make a wise vocational choice and better
equipped to face the business world.

Tuition and Fees

The officer having general supervision of the collection of Tuition and Fees is the
Comptroller.

A candidate's formal application for admission should be accom-
panied by a S5.00 application fee in check or money order made payable
to The Trustees of Amherst College. Upon notification of admission to
the College a candidate is required to return with his acceptance a non-
refundable advance payment of $100 which will be credited in full on
the first term bill.

Student accounts are payable at the Office of the Comptroller. Bills
will be mailed to students or to their parents approximately two weeks
before the due date, the Saturday prior to the opening day of each se-
mester. Freshmen and other new entrants should make payments on or
before arrival. Advance payment by mail upon receipt of bill will be a
convenience to the student and to the college.

In hardship cases, special arrangements may be made with the Comp-
troller in advance for extending payments over a short period.

Identification cards must be picked up in person at the Comptroller's
Office before course cards may be obtained.

his course, this deposit is refunded, less any amounts then due on account
of lost equipment, library fines, breakage, etc. This does not, however,
relieve the student from the responsibility of paying such miscellaneous
charges when incurred. Toward the end of each semester, such items
not paid at their source will be referred to the Comptroller for collection,
plus a penalty charge.

Each Senior is charged a degree fee of $7 in his final semester.

more year until the delinquency is removed.

In the case of any students who have unpaid balances due the Col-
lege, earnings from any College employment may be applied to reduce
their indebtedness.

A fee for the support of various activities of the student body is deter-
mined by the Student Council. This fee is collected by the College and
turned over to the Advisor of Student Organizations for expenditure under
his supervision. For the year 1954-55, the fee has been set at $21.50. For
this fee each student receives a copy of the yearbook, the OLIO; a one
year's subscription to the student newspaper and magazine. THE AM-
HERST STUDENT and S ABRIN A-CONTEXT ; and contributes to the
support of the college band, the debate council, the radio station, the
crew, and sundry other activities of the student body which fall under
Council jurisdiction. To this fee is added $1.50, covering admission to
Masquers performances, which are under College rather than Council
jurisdiction, making a total of $23.00, one half of which, $11.50, will ap-
pear on each semester bill.

Summary of Expenses
Beyond the total amount billed by the College will be the student's
personal expenses, membership dues in student organizations, clothing,
travel, books, and miscellaneous items, all of which will vary greatly
with the individual but will probably range from one to two hundred
dollars per semester.

Scholarships and Beneficiary Aid

The officer directly in charge of the administration of scholarships and beneficiary
aid is the Associate Dean of the College.

The beneficiary funds of the College aggregate over $1,685,000. The
income of these funds is distributed annually among students of high char-
acter and superior scholastic ability who can demonstrate financial need.

Scholarships for the Three Upper Classes
Applicants for scholarships, or for renewal of scholarships, from the
three upper classes must file at the Associate Dean's office, on or before
May 1st, an account of their income and expenditures for the preceding
year, and an estimate of their income and expenditures for the following
year.

As a minimum scholastic requirement, applicants for scholarships from
the three upper classes must pass all of their courses of the preceding year
with an average of at least seventy-five per cent. In general, awards are
restricted to students who stood in the upper half of their respective classes
during the previous college year.

Scholarships for Incoming Students
More than forty scholarships are awarded annually to applicants for
admission to college who are in need of financial aid and who meet in
full the entrance requirements. These scholarships range from $300 to
$1500. They are awarded for the first term in residence and entitle the
recipient to a credit on the first bill for tuition. The continuation of each
scholarship for the following term depends upon the student's passing all
of his courses in his first term with an average of at least seventy-five per
cent, and, when granted, involves a credit on the next term bill. All
candidates for these scholarships must be candidates for admission and
must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test and Achievement Test, given by
the College Entrance Examination Board. Correspondence concerning
scholarships should be addressed to the Associate Dean of the College,
Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts. Each applicant for scholarship
aid must file a formal application before March 1st. No special examina-
tions are needed other than the College Board tests required for Admission.

Scholarship Funds
Throughout the whole history of the College funds have been given
or bequeathed, the incomes of which are to be used for the assistance
of worthy and needy students. A few of these funds are restricted to candi-
dates for the ministry and a few of them are restricted by other factors,
such as the geographical location of the home of the applicant. In a few

AMHERST COLLEGE

( im s it is stipulated that the award from a particular fund shall be made
to a particularly designated student. For the most part, however, the
income of these funds may be awarded as the College sees tit. Three State
Scholarships of full tuition arc awarded annually to qualified residents of
Massachusetts.

Special Scholarships

Sloan National Scholarships: These special awards were established by the
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and are open to applicants who reside in
the continental United States. With one exception, the stipends granted
under these scholarships will vary with the financial need of the applicant.
Aw ards will range from a minimum of $200 to a maximum of $2000 and
will be renewed each year provided the recipient's performance continues
on a high level and his relative financial need does not change. One
S200 honorary Sloan Award will be made to an outstanding applicant
irrespective of financial need. Sloan awards will be made to men who have
outstanding academic records in secondary school, who have demon-
strated unusual initiative, and who appear to have the character and
personality required for future leadership.

Alumni Fund Scholarships: A limited number of special awards financed
from the Amherst Alumni Fund are available for outstanding students de-
pending upon financial need. Stipends range up to $1500 and are renewed
annually unless the recipient fails to maintain a high scholastic average
or his financial need decreases.

Residents of Amherst
Free tuition may be granted at the discretion of The Trustees of Amherst
College to applicants for admission who can satisfy in full the entrance
requirements for Amherst College, who have been residents of Amherst
for three years before the time of admission to college, and whose parents
have also been residents of Amherst for three years. The grants of free
tuition are continued throughout the college course, provided the stu-
dents concerned satisfy the scholarship requirements of the College, con-
form to its regulations, and the parents of the students concerned continue
to live in Amherst.

Student Loan Fund
Through the liberality of friends of the College, provision is made for
loans of a limited amount to the few students in the later years of the
course, at a low rate of interest, upon notes to be paid in subsequent
years. In accordance with the conditions imposed by the donors of the
Loan Fund, its use is limited to students in good scholastic standing whose
habits of expenditure are economical. Application blanks may be ob-
tained at the Associate Dean's office.

Degrees

MASTER OF ARTS

The Master of Arts degree is conferred upon students who have re-
ceived the Bachelor of Arts degree either from Amherst College or from
another college which has similar requirements for the Bachelor of Arts
degree, and who have met the requirements described below. Application
forms and a detailed explanation of the requirements may be obtained
from the Dean.

Requirements for Master of Arts Degree

To become a candidate for the Master of Arts degree, students are ex-
pected to have at least a B average or its equivalent in their under-
graduate work. They should secure approval of proposed courses of study
from the Dean, the department concerned, and the Committee of Six, not
later than the June preceding the opening of the college year in which
they plan to begin work for this degree.

Candidates are required to complete at least eight semester courses of
advanced character, or the equivalent, under the direction of the depart-
ment concerned, to secure grades of at least B in every course, to spend a
minimum of two semesters in residence in Amherst College, to prepare
a satisfactory thesis, and to pass oral and written comprehensive exami-
nations.

BACHELOR OF ARTS

The degree Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon students of Amherst
College who have satisfactorily met the requirements prescribed for that
degree. The plan of studies leading to the degree Bachelor of Arts is
arranged on a basis of the equivalent of an right-semester course to be
pursued by students in residence at the College.

The Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum
laude (Degree with Honors), is awarded to students who have successfully
completed an approved program of honors work with a department or
group.

To other students who have satisfactorily met the requirements the
degree Bachelor of Arts rite is awarded.

Requirements for Bachelor of Arts Degree

The degree of Bachelor of Arts is awarded to students who complete a
minimum of one hundred and twenty-eight credit hours, of which at least

AMHERST COLLEGE

sixty-four must be completed in the freshman and sophomore years, and
at least sixty-four in the junior and senior years; who in freshman and
sophomore years complete three two-year sequence courses in natural
science, social science, and English-Humanities; who in junior and senior
years take at least fifteen credit hours outside the division in which they
arc majoring; and who complete certain prescribed work in public speak-
ing and physical education.

Note A: A Sophomore who finds it necessary to exceed the sixty-four
credit-hour minimum of the first two years in order to take an introduc-
tory course in a department in which he plans to major may, with the
I lean's permission, postpone a required sophomore course to the junior
year.

Note B: A portion of the fifteen credit-hour extra-divisional requirement
may be waived by departmental representatives whenever they consider
it justified. In such cases, students, both rite and honors, must submit a
written statement to the representatives of the departments in which they
arc majoring giving the reasons why the requirement should be waived.

Note C: Students in the class of 1955 will be required to complete sixty-
two credit-hours during freshman and sophomore years and sixty-four
during junior and senior years, and a total of at least one hundred and
twenty-six hours.

Candidates must have no deficiencies in the work of any year; must
satisfy the language requirement in French, German, Italian, Russian,
Spanish, Latin or Greek; must attain a general average of 70 percent in
the courses completed at Amherst College and a grade of at least 70 per-
cent in every course completed in another institution.

A major consists of the equivalent of thirty credit hours pursued under
the direction of a department or special group. A major cannot begin later
than the junior year and may begin in either the freshman or sophomore
year. No year without a course in the major may intervene between its
beginning and its end. Each department decides whether a freshman
course in a department shall count toward its major.

The major can be met in accordance with either of two plans:

Plan A: A student may complete the thirty credit . hour requirement
within one department. He must complete at least twenty-two
credit hours within one department, however, in which case
he may complete the remaining credit hour requirement in
related fields approved by the department.

Plan B: Combinations of courses not provided for under Plan A, but simi-
lar in aim to the established group majors in American Studies
and Renaissance Studies, may be made with the consent of the
several departments concerned and of the Dean.

DEGREES

Language Requirements
The college language requirement may be satisfied in any of the follow-
ing languages: French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Latin, or
Greek.

In modern languages the requirement may be met in either of the fol-
lowing ways:

1. At entrance, by a satisfactory score in the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board Achievement Test in the language, plus a demonstration of
ability to comprehend the spoken language in an oral examination to be
given to freshmen at the beginning of the college year.

2. After entrance, by passing course 5, or by passing reading and aural
comprehension examinations to be given at the end of course 3.

In ancient languages the requirement may be met in either of the fol-
lowing ways:

1. At entrance, by a satisfactory score in the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board Achievement Test in Latin or Greek.

2. After entrance, by passing Latin 3 with a grade of C, by passing any
higher numbered course in Latin, or by passing Greek 3.

Degree with Honors

The degree Bachelor of Arts with honors is awarded at graduation to
students whose academic records give evidence of particular merit. It
may be awarded cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude, according to
the level of achievement of the candidates. All degrees with honors are
noted on the diploma and the Commencement program, and are an-
nounced in the annual catalog.

The award of honors is made by the Faculty of the College. In making
such award the Faculty will take into account the following factors: (1)
Candidates must have a minimum college average of 80 to be eligible to
be considered for the degree cum laude, of 86 for the degree magna cum laude,
and of 90 for the degree summa cum laude. (2) Candidates must receive the
recommendation for the degree cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum
laude from the department in which they have done their major work.
Each department will define the conditions upon which it will be their
practice to make recommendations to the Faculty. (3) In the case of the
award of magna cum laude and summa cum laude the Dean and the Committee
of Six will review the entire record of candidates and will transmit to the
Faculty their recommendations. Only students of marked distinction in
both general work and in the field of honor studies will be recommended
for the summa cum laude degree.

A student is expected to have a general average of at least 80 percent
at the time he is accepted as a candidate for honors in a department or

AMHERST COLLEGE

group. However, in exceptional cases, if the department concerned
approves, a student whose average is below 80 percent may become a
candidate for the degree with honors.

A candidate for a degree with honors may be permitted, at the discre-
tion of the department in which he is majoring, to substitute in his junior
year a conference course for one of his regular three- or four-hour courses,
and in his senior year a conference course for one or two of his regular
three- or four-hour courses.

U. S. Air Force
Reserve Officers' Training Corps

This program is optional for incoming freshmen who meet the following
requirements: (1) More than 14 and less than 23 years of age at time of
initial enrollment; (2) Citizen of the United States; (3) A record free
from conviction by any civil court for other than a minor traffic vio-
lation; (4) Pass a physical examination which qualifies the individual
duty as a reserve officer in the United States Air Force.

The AF ROTC program is divided into basic and advanced courses
of two years each, the basic being conducted during the freshman and
sophomore years and the advanced during the junior and senior years.
The ultimate objective of the program is to commission qualified students
in the Air Force Reserve upon their graduation from Amherst.

The first year basic course consists of background subjects necessary
for basic Officer Training, Leadership, Drill, and Exercise of Command
for a total of 90 hours. This phase is presented throughout the academic
year and averages two contact hours per week. The drill requirement
is met through student participation for two hours per week in the first
eight weeks of the first semester and the last eight weeks of the second
semester. (No drill will be conducted during the winter months.)

The second year basic course consists of Technical Air Force matters
relevant to junior officer development, and Leadership, Drill, and Exer-
cise of Command for a total of 90 hours. The drill requirement is met
in the same manner as for the first year basic, above, and the other sub-
jects are conducted through two regularly scheduled contact hours per
week throughout the academic year.

The College allows two credits per semester for students participating
in the basic courses.

With the advanced course comes another selection period when stu-
dents who have completed the four semesters of basic ROTC are chosen
to continue their Air Force education. Selections are made from appli-
cations of qualified students; final approval of the PAS (Professor of Air
Science) and the Dean of the College is necessary before the applicant
is finally enrolled.

The advanced course involves 150 hours per academic year which
includes more advanced and specialized subjects, and a continuation of
Leadership, Drill, and Exercise of Command with cadets holding higher
positions of responsibility in the Amherst Corps of Cadets.

The College allows three credits per semester for students participating
in the advanced courses.

All students formally enrolled in the advanced course must attend a six-

AMHERST COLLEGE

weeks summer camp between their junior and senior years. The summer
camp offers a realistic approach to the Air Force and gives the cadet a
practical idea of what future active duty may entail.

Upon graduation from Amherst and completion of the four-year AF
1<( >TC course including summer camp, the student who intends to fly
is commissioned as a second lieutenant in the USAF Reserve. Active
duty after being commissioned will depend upon the condition of world
affairs at that time.

N.B.: Enrollment in either the basic or advanced courses is by individual
application to the PAS, Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts.
Freshmen will normally be contacted by mail during the spring or summer
preceding their first year at Amherst.

The work for honors in biology consists of two main activities: (a) par-
ticipation in a general and in a specialized seminar course in which the
candidate reports on papers from current scientific periodicals; (b) an
original investigation under the direction of some member of the staff.

In May of his senior year the candidate writes a comprehensive exami-
nation on the whole field of biology. He also writes a thesis presenting the
results of his research and defends his findings orally before the whole De-
partment.

Recommendations for the various grades of honors will be made on the
basis of the comprehensive examination, the value of the original investiga-
tion and its defense.

Major for students not candidates for the degree with honors. The major must
include thirty credit hours, not counting those of courses 1 and 3. Eight
of these credits may be in approved courses outside the Department.

Honors: The aim of honors work in German is to offer the candidate
the opportunity

a) to explore a chosen field or fields through a more extensive program
of readings than is possible in course work

b) to organize material for himself along historical or analytical lines,
usually in the form of a thesis or essay

c) to acquire a general view of the history and development of German,
either as language or literature.

The goal of this work is not necessarily to produce graduate students, un-
less a candidate has definitely decided upon doing graduate work. The
program of the senior year is organized on the basis of individual confer-
ences, in which the candidate benefits from personal attention.

Each candidate will present a thesis or essay on an approved topic. It
may deal critically with the work of a specific author; it may treat the de-
velopment of an idea in historical form; it may be a study of some par-
ticular literary form.

AMHERST COLLEGE

Each candidate will take, early in May, a written general examination
on the history of German literature, which will also include questions in
his chosen field. The result of this examination together with the excellence
of the thesis or essay will determine the degree of honors for which the
Department will recommend the candidate.

Candidates for the degree with honors should elect German 21, 22,
27, 43, 44, 79, 80. They are urged to study one ancient or other modern
foreign language.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

Physical Education

Professors Eckley, Lumley, and Marsh; Associate Professors McCabe
McLaughry, Richardson, Rostas and Wilson; Assistant Professor
Dunbar; Messrs. Gowen, Reid and Van Petersilge.

Complete physical examination, physical fitness tests, special exercises
for remedial defects, and a program of instruction and participation in
team games and sports. Required for Freshmen and Sophomores and men who
have not met the department standards in swimming, fitness, team games, and recrea-
tional sports.

Physics

Professors Arons and Soller*; Associate Professor Benson; Assistant
Professors Crowell and Nicol; Mr. Towne
The minimum course requirements for a major in physics are as follows:
Physics 22, 51, 52, 53, 54, Math 31, with additional physics courses, and
either Math 23 or 32 making up the balance of the 30 hours required for
any major.

A major with honors will require the first six courses listed above, plus
Physics 75, 76, 79, 80.

It is practically imperative that a student who wishes to do graduate
work in physics take courses Physics 51, 52, 53, and 54 in his Junior year,
and Physics 75 and 76 in his Senior year, even though the latter two
courses are not formally required for the major.

The aim of honors work in physics is to provide an opportunity for
the student to develop his ability and interest in individual investigation,
and his skill in experimental techniques. Any student who intends to do
graduate work in physics should register for honors work, but the honors
program is available to other qualified students as well.

The honors project consists of independent work, under faculty direc-
tion, on some experimental or theoretical problem mutually acceptable
to both the student and staff. Experimental equipment is available for
work in some phases of magnetism, acoustics, ultrasonics, optics, elec-
tronics, X-rays, cosmic rays, and nuclear- and low-temperature physics.
The student is given facilities to review the literature in the field, to design,
construct and assemble his experimental equipment, and to make obser-
vations. During the spring, he is required to present his work in the
Physics Seminar, and to prepare a thesis, which is due on May 15th.

In addition, the honors student is required to take comprehensive exam-
inations, two written and one oral. The first written examination is given
at the end of the first semester of the senior year and is designed to test
his grasp of fundamental physical principles. The student's achievement
on this examination, together with his progress on his honors problem,

• Absent on leave, second semester, 1954-55.

AMHERST COLLEGE

will determine the advisability of his continuing the honors program.
The purpose of the second written examination, which is given during the
latter part of May, is to test the student's comprehension of the basic-
ideas and methods of the more advanced phases of physics. The oral ex-
amination with the department is usually primarily on the thesis and
allied topics.

The departmental recommendation for the various degrees of honors
will l>e based on the student's record in the Department, the honors work,
and the comprehensive examinations.

AMHERST COLLEGE

Science

SCIENCE 1. Professors Arons and Brown in charge. 4 credit hrs.

A course in physical science and mathematics. The objectives of the
course are: to show what is meant by a scientific concept and how scientists
construct a conceptual scheme to obtain a deeper understanding of physi-
cal phenomena; to show how scientists work and reason and how such
reasoning has led to discoveries which have influenced the development
of our culture and the outlook of man toward the world around him; to
impart some knowledge of physical laws and phenomena, particularly
those which affect our everyday lives and actions.

To achieve these ends, no attempt is made to cover a wide range of
subjects in the fields of physics and mathematics; rather, a limited number
of subjects is studied with some care, so as to develop a more profound
understanding than would otherwise be possible.

In physics, topics are selected from mechanics in such a way as to de-
velop an understanding of the ideas which led to Newton's formulation of
the laws of mechanics and the theory of gravitation and thence to indicate
the impact which the Newtonian synthesis has had on the subsequent
development of science and philosophy. Selected topics from electricity
and optics are then introduced and, combined with the previously de-
veloped topics in mechanics, are used to show how we have arrived at our
present conception of the structure of matter.

In mathematics, topics are selected from analytic geometry and calculus
in such a way as to show how this science has arisen as a powerful inde-
pendent discipline and how its tools, in turn, have profoundly influenced
the development of physical science.

Mathematics, two hours; Physics, two hours; Laboratory, two hours.
Required Jor Freshmen. First semester.

Lectureships

The Henry Ward Beecher Lectureship

This lectureship fund of $10,000 was founded by the late Frank L. Bab-
bott, LLD., of the Class of 1878, in honor of Henry Ward Beecher, of
the Class of 1834. The incumbent is appointed biennially by the Faculty
for supplementary lectures in the departments of history and the political,
social, and economic sciences.

The Clyde Fitch Fund

A fund of $20,000 was established by Captain and Mrs. W. G. Fitch
of New York in memory of their son, Clyde Fitch, of the Class of 1886.
The income of this fund is to be used for the furtherance of the study of
English literature and dramatic art and literature. The whole or part of
this income is usually devoted to the remuneration of an eminent lecturer,
who may also take a part in the regular instruction of the College.

The John Woodruff Simpson Lectureship

A fund now amounting to $192,300 was established in memory of John
Woodruff Simpson, of the Class of 1871, by his wife and daughter. The
income is to be used for fellowships and "to secure from time to time, from
England, France or elsewhere, scholars for the purpose of delivering lec-
tures or courses of instruction at Amherst College."

The Reynolds Fund

A fund now amounting to approximately $137,000 was established by
the late George W. Reynolds of the Class of 1877. Part of the income is
accumulated each year and added to the fund. The remainder is available
for lectures at the College in the fields of religion and of science.

The Charles E. Merrill Lectureship

An expendable fund of $10,000 was given by Charles E. Merrill of the
Class of 1908 for a series of lectures and formal discussions on applied
economics. Upon delivery, these lectures become the property of Amherst

HONORS

119

THE SOCIETY OF THE SIGMA XI

Sigma Xi, the National Honorary Scientific Research Society, was
founded in 1886; the Amherst Chapter was installed March 23, 1950. The
Society has as one of its purposes to give recognition to those students,
members of the faculty, and research associates who have demonstrated
ability to carry on constructive scientific research or who show definite
promise of research ability. Other functions are the maintenance of com-
panionship among investigators in the various fields of science, the holding
of meetings for the discussion of scientific subjects, and the fostering of an
interest in scientific research in the College.

Undergraduates, masters candidates, and others who show definite
promise of research ability may be recommended to associate membership
by the departments concerned. In the case of undergraduates, nomination
will be given only to those students whose promise of research ability
would warrant recommendation for at least a degree magna cum laude
(entirely aside from the question of grades). At present the chapter has a
total membership of some 85 faculty and students.

Fellowships

The College's funds for fellowships aggregate $443,000. From the
income of these funds fellowships are awarded annually to graduates
of Amherst College, and in some instances to graduates of other colleges,
for study in graduate or professional schools. Applications should be made
in writing to the Dean before March first.

The names of those to whom fellowships have been awarded for the current year
will be found on page 73.

The Amherst Memorial Fellowships for the Study of Social,
Economic, and Political Institutions, and for Preparation
for Teaching and the Ministry

A fund of $110,100 provides fellowships to perpetuate the memory of
those Amherst men who gave their lives for an ideal. The following state-
ment expresses the purposes of the donor of these fellowships: "Realizing
the need for better understanding and more complete adjustment between
men and existing social, economic, and political institutions, it is my desire
to establish a fellowship for the study of the principles underlying these
human relationships."

Appointments to these fellowships may be made from the graduating
class or the alumni of Amherst College or of other colleges, the object
being to permit men of character, scholarly promise, and intellectual
curiosity to investigate some problem in the humanistic sciences. Candi-
dates should be men of sound health. During previous training they should
have given evidence of marked mental ability in some branch of the social
sciences — history, economics, political science — and have given promise
of original contribution to a particular field of study. It is desirable that
they possess qualities of leadership, a spirit of service, and an intention to
devote their efforts to the betterment of social conditions through teaching
in its broad sense, journalism, politics, or field work.

While preference is given to candidates planning to do advanced work
in the field of the social sciences, applications will be accepted and awards
made to candidates who are planning to go to theological school as a
preparation for a career in the ministry and to those from other fields
than the social sciences who are preparing for a career in teaching in
secondary schools or colleges.

Appointments may be made for terms of two years. Tenure may, how-
ever, be shorter or longer, depending upon the nature of the subjects in-
vestigated or upon other circumstances which, in the judgment of the
committee, warrant a variation in the length of tenure.

121

AMHERST COI.I.K(;K

The stipend will vary according to the circumstances of the appoint-
ment. Awards will depe nd upon those aspects of individual cases which,
in the judgment of the committee, most suitably fulfill the purpose of the
foundation.

These fellowships will be awarded by the Board of Trustees upon the
recommendation of the Faculty Fellowship Committee.

Two fellowships of $500 each are available from the income of the be-
quest of the late Henry P. Field of the class of 1880, to promote graduate

study in the department of physical education. Its object is to make the
student familiar with the best methods of physical training, both in the
gymnasium and on the field. The appointment is made by the Faculty.

The Roswell Dwight Hitchcock Memorial Fellowship

A fund of $7600, established through the agency of the Alpha Delta Phi
Fraternity, provides an annual award under conditions determined by
the Faculty, to a member of the senior class for excellence in history and
the social and economic sciences. The holder of the Fellowship pursues
for one year, at an institution approved by the Faculty, a course of study in
history or economics, to be completed within the period of two years next
following graduation. The amount of the Fellowship is paid in two install-
ments, one on completion of one-half the year's work, the other at the end
of the year.

The Rufus B. Kellogg University Fellowship

The income from a fund of $48,700 established by the late Rufus B.
Kellogg of the Class of 1858 provides certain prizes, and a fellowship
award for three years to an alumnus of Amherst College, who shall be
appointed upon the following conditions:

1. He shall be elected by the Faculty from the members of the class

man who, in their judgment, is best equipped for study and research, with-
out regard to any other considerations whatsoever, except that he should
have an especially good knowledge of at least one modern foreign language
and should have had at least one year of Latin in preparatory school or
college.

3. The three years shall be spent by the incumbent at a German Uni-
versity, or, with the approval of the said Faculty, at any other place or
places, in the study of philosophy, philology, literature, history, political
science, political economy, mathematics or natural science. At least one
college term of the final year shall be spent by the incumbent at Amherst
College, where he shall give a series of not more than thirty lectures on a
subject selected by himself and approved by the Trustees. The lectures
shall be given to the Senior class, but the members of all other classes

tures published, at the end of his official term, in good book form, or in a
learned journal.

The Edward Poole Lay Fellowship

A fund of $33,200, established by Frank M. Lay, of the class of 1893,
and Mrs. Lay, in memory of their son Edward Poole Lay, of the class of
1922. The income from the fund provides for a fellowship to be awarded
to a graduate of Amherst College who has shown unusual proficiency and
talent in music, and who desires to continue his studies in this field. Prefer-
ence is to be given to a candidate who is proficient in voice. In the event
that there is no qualified candidate for the award in any one year in the
musical arts (especially voice and instrumental music), then it may be
awarded under the same conditions to a qualified candidate in the field
of the dramatic arts.

This fellowship will be awarded by the Board of Trustees upon the
recommendation of the Faculty Fellowship Committee.
